From the many times I've watched "The Little Mermaid" the final battle is one that always bothered me as a kid as well as scarring me for life. Eric impaling Ursula was agonizing to me that I would have preferred a similar end like the battle in "Jaws" in a quick and painless way or a suspenseful hunt like in the final scene of the scifi horror movie "Species"(1995). In the 90's after viewing the latter that I wasn't supposed to, I thought Eric and Ariel would have gone hunting down Ursula turned more monster than that giant version of herself in the final sequence if it were live action someday! Ursula's final form should have been similar to Vanessa's figure only more Gorgon and alien-like. She would have killed one throwaway sailor in a jump scare and then leaped to attack Eric and Ariel in the cavern. Eric would pull up a flintlock pistol to shoot Ursula several times avoiding her trident fire that set some gunpowder on fire. Ariel would get a musket or bayonet to point at Ursula's head while grabbing Eric and blown off her head like Sil and finally fall dead! Or they both would have shot her near barrels of gunpowder and blow up like Bruce the shark and they both get together in the water like Brody and Hooper!
